Since the fastening's, 0rf,"examp1e I staples, used to attach solesare'driven completely,

, through the layersof the sole o'fth e shoeoperated upon, the worksupport' lis commonly providing with a clenching: cavity, the worksupport being'adjusted horizontally sothat' the'center of theclenchin'gcavity is slightl i out of alinementwith the line of drive bfthedisturbedf a fa'stenings. YThus each fastening as it comes throughtheshoe bottom will" strike an in- 'clined I portion of the; wall; of theclenching cavity and will be clenched toward'th'e center a of. theclenching cavity; The position of the clenching cavity, in order'thatthedirection or clench will be properly controlled, is critical and it isaccordinglynecessary that the positionefthe clenching cavityfshould notbe disturbed. 7 It is necessarm: however, frequently to adjustjtheheight of the worksupit port,'forexample When passing from theat-v taching'of soles to the attaching of t-oplifts to V heels or viceversa, and theadjusting of the height of the work supp'ort i's-likely todisturb the relation ofthe clenching'cavity tothe line of drive of thefastenings a u chines with an improved Work f support of such acharacter its heightlcan; be con- 1 veniently adjusted :withoutf dangerofdis tm'bi ng the relation ofthetclenching' cavity I? of the worksupportgt'o the line of'drive;
